A REAL ESTATE DEAL.
Trial of the Neutrality-suspicious.
Case Begun in the District

Trial of the Holdridge-Stowe
Case Begun in the District
Court.
When the Latz-ThompSon case went
to the jury in Judge Kelly's court room
yesterday, the suit of Earl A. Holdridge
against Miss Ida StoWell was taken up.
Davis d Severance appeared for the
p.aintiff, and John O'Brien for Miss
Stowell. According to Attorney
O'Brien'S opening up to the Jury, this
case promises to develop some of the
methods of doing real estate business.
He said in effect that Miss Stowell was
a young school teacher who. by dint of
careful saving, had accumulated about
500 or $500. She then looked about for
an opportunity to invest in real estate
toincrease her little pile. She eventually
came across the plaintiff, Holdridge. He
represented to her, explained the attor-
ney, that Cochran & Walsh had secured
the Naphelde tract, and were holding it
for their customers only at contract
price. This contract price was fixed
at Sl,200 an acre. Depending upon
such representations, Miss Stowell
purchased some of the property.
The contracts were made out in the
itiiiC VI SOCllldil ~ w dlSl as agents,
not as owners, as she had been led to
believe. When she desired to purchase
more property at contract price Mr..
iioldridge placed some at her disposal,
and when She intimated that she was
liable to be a little short OF money when
her payments had to be made, she was
required to sign note ION demand"- of
Sl,509. She subsequently learned that
instead of the contract price being
Sl.200 an acre, as represented, it should
have been 1000. Trouble being antici-
pated she commenced suit against Hold
ridge to enjOin him from carrying out
the contract. Then she paid a visit to
Chicago, and Holdridge, says her coun-
sci, took advantage of her absence to
commence a suit against her for the re-
c0yery of the sum named in the note.
although the note had never been pre-
scented to her for payment. Mr.. O'Brien
will endeavor to show to the jury that,
according to Mr.. Holdridge'S own ac-
counts, Miss Stowell does not owe
him cent, and the defendant will COM
mence counter claim for $4,000 DAM
ages.

SALTWATER NEWS.
A Young Man Wanders Away
Other Matters.

: Early yesterday morning William
Barton wandered off on the Duluth rail-
"rOad track towards White Bear. Later
in the day his friends, becoming alarmed
about him, started in pursuit, and fol-
lowed him to point beyond the Wis
consin Central crossing, near small
lake, where part of his clothing was
found, and, as he has been laboring I'M
der fit of mental alteration for several
days, it was generally expected that he
had killed himself. Organized search
was instituted, which led to his discov-
cry over the lake in Wisconsin. He was
brought to this city, where he will be
taken care of. He is teamster and has
been in the employ of Sauntry & Tozer,
and his mental arrangement is owing to
fall received several years since.
The funeral of little daughter of
Joseph Hart, who was burned to death
at South Saltwater, occurred Yesterday.
The mother was absent when the acct
dent happened, which is attributed to
the little ones playing with matches
When she returned to the house the
child lay upon the floor in the agonies
of death. her clothing entirely burned
off her body, and expired in about fif-
teen minutes.
Two weddings of well-knOwn young
people occurred at St. Michael's church
yesterday morning. The first was that
of James Mocklu to Miss Nora Hen
messy, and the latter that of John Karst,
Jr., to Miss Lizzie Murphy. Mr.. and
Mrs. Mocklu will visit at Minneapolis
for short time, when they will return
here to reside. John Karst, Jr., is a
well-known and popular young bust
ness man, and he marrieS a most eSti-
mable young lady.
The demand for Yesterdays edition Of
the GLOBE at the Saltwater office was
something unprecedented, and the sup
ply proved entirely inadequate to the
demand. Large numbers of them were
mailed by the purchasers to friends in
the East, and great regret was eX-
pressed at there not being more to send.
The wedding of DR.. Philip Mueller,
of st. Paul, and Miss Emma A.. Jassoy,
of this city, is announced to take place
at the residence of the BRIDES parents,
on South Third street, ON Monday next.

Saltwater attended the presidents re-
cepti0n at st. Paul on Monday, ana a
very good delegation went to Mime
apOliS yesterday for the same purpose.
A number of friends were entertained
by Miss Lillian McCallan at the resi-
dence of her parents on South Fourth
street on Monday evening. .

SHE WORE MEMS CLOTHES.
A Model Bookkeeper Turns Out
to Be a Real Woman


For upwards of five years neat,
dapper little fellow who was called
August Simpson, and whose upper lip
was graced by the merest suspicion of a
downy mustache, has kept the books in
Kendall's coal Office at Hanover and
Johnson streets, Philadelphia, saws the
New York Morning journal. Last week
MI. Kendall received notice that August
was gOln to be married and give I'M
work
This rather surprised him, inasmuch
as few men when they take it upon
them to wed can afford to forsake bust
ness. and he continued to be puzzled
over his bookkeeper's move until Mon
day OF this week, when, in the place of
the dapper young man, a becomingly
dressed young lady appeared at the
ONCE and explained that after all
August was not man. but a woman.
The young lady was, in fact. no less q
parsonage than the bookkeeper in her
proper garb, and she stated that her
sweetheart knew her as Augusta in
stead of August.
Five years ago the Simpson family.
who live in Milwaukee, Wis, had a
rather hard time of it to get on. The
Widow Simpson remembered that she
had cousin named Kendall living In
Philadelphia, and she wrote to him.
asking him if he could not do some
thing for them. In return she received
a letter saying that if she had son who
understood anything about bookkeep-
ing he would give him employment.
Augusta, who had seen the letter.
came to the rescue. Why, she asked.
should she not put on boys clothes and
go? AT first Mrs. Simpson demurred.
but they were very poor, and Augusta
would not be denied. The money for
the ticket came and the girl went East.
leaving behind her man who was head
over heels in love with her, and who
vowed that as soon as he was able he
would be on to Philadelphia and make
her his wife.
Henry Fillman was the sweetheart
she left behind her, and fortune smiled
on him. He secured position in the
employ of the st. Paul Railroad com
pany and removed to that city. Pro
motion followed promotion and month
ago he announced his intention of keep
ing his promise. He brought Mrs.
Simpson with him when he came. both
arriving here last Saturday.
That evening Augusta put on her
proper attire for the first time i'm five
years. On Tuesday they were married
privately by down town clergyman,
and yesterday they started for New
York, where they will spend week
prior to returning to st. Paul. Mr..
Kendall sent the bride a handsome
clock with a bronze figure of Diana sur
mounting it.

TIL Ely WE'RE GATHERED IN.
A Harvest of Supposed Pickpock-
cts and Crooks.

The police had six notorious pick
pockets in limbo yesterday, two of them
on charge that will probably hold. J.
III. Clinch, better known as the BALD
faced Kid" and James Mason, alias
John Rodgers, are held for assault with
a dangerous weapon. During the re-
view of the carnival clubs at Bridge
square one of them endeavored to cut
the pocket of citizen in the crowd
named Mark Murray. The knife missed
the mark and cut cash in Murray's
arm three inches long and an inch deep.
Chief Detective O'Connor says the men
were accompanied by Harry Moore,
another we'll known "knuck," who
escaped in the crowd. Chinch and
Mason are reckoned first-class among
the light-fingered gentry, and have Just
returned from successful trip in
Europe. Mason, under the alias Rod
gers, is wanted in Chicago. where he
jumped a bail bond of $500 for the
same charge. The eases will be heard
before Judge Cory to-day.
"Sheeney Georges" gang, giving the
names John Benton, James Walsh,
James Patterson and Clark King, were
locked up the night of the presidents
reception, just to keep them safe.

The portraits of the presidential pair
were said by the president and his wife
to be the best they had ever seen in
paper or magazine. This they told the
governor of this state, as well as
many other people. Here are some of
the remarks made about yesterdays
paper, which explains why there were
not enough for all:
GOV. McGill-I must really praise the
GLOBE for the enterprise and originality dis
played in this mornings issue | was with
the president and Mrs. cleveland when the
GLOBE WAS brought to them, and TO say that
they were pleased is putting it mildly indeed.
They were especially delighted with the por-
traits. and decided that they were the best
newspaper or magazine cuts printed SO far.
Gen. iirandt-The GLOBE was surely a
handsome paper this morning, and | have
never seen amy newspaper that could at all
compare with it.
Eli ). Warner-The GLOBE certainly got
there this morning. Those illustrations lay
clear over anything of the kind | have ever
Seen in newspaper.

$ leidiji i'll this mornings GLOBE. l bought
all cJuld get to send to friends, and sent
sollic lear 10 India to show them what news
paper enterprise can do in the West.
Secretary Hart-I don't think I've ever
seel a. nne an issue of any newspaper as
this mornings GLOBE. 1t was better than
even the Christmas number.
Deputy Auditor Kenyon-The GLOBE had
the finest cuts in this mornings paper that
| have ever seen i'll newspaper or magazine.
K. H. l.. Jewett-The finest thing I've seen
SO far in The line of a newspaper.
Deputy insurance Commissioner Todd
suppose the GLOBE ran out Of type Grit would
have had more headlines; but it can't be de-
MED that the GLOBE edition was great.
Deputy Clerk Heinz wish | had a hun
cred copies of this mornings GLOBE to send
East. It's the finest thing I've ever seen.
harles Shapdrew-The cuts are simply
magnificent. l wish 1 could get Il dozen or
50.
>. 7. James-The GLOBE shows enterprise
and push. I'm sorry to see it, because I'd
rather see a Republican paper doing some
thing like it in Minnesota. / feel sorry that
| have got TO send Democratic paper to my
friends in the East, but it's solemn fact,
nevertheless.
Col. E. G. Becker-The cuts were simply
elegant. The GoBE's credit to the city, and
this mornings edition is a corker.
Assistant Attorney General Childs-I
think that every citizen of st. Paul and Min
neSota ought to feel proud of paper that had
the enterprise TO send out paper like this
mornings GLOBE.
j. ID. Jones-The GLOBE was simply elegant
in its cuts and everything. | don't agree
with il III politics, but l always read it and
admire its enterprise.
j. 5. Hughes-The GLOBE of this morning
was an elegant piece Of work.
j. II. Foote-The GLOBE this morning lays
over them all
